I do believe that racism is on the upswing. I live in the Seattle area, which is supposed to be uber-liberal, but whenever there is a crime story in the local papers involving a (presumably) black or hispanic perp, there are loads of thinly veiled racist comments. And clearly the police here are right with the commenters.
I believe that it is the predictable result of those on the left who constantly try to foment division and racial hostility by making false accusations of racism. 'Call Them Racists' - WSJ.com
Constantly accuse people of some transgression, and inevitably some will say 'wtf, if I'm going to be accused, I might as well do it."
Studies have shown more diversity causes more distrust among people. The study was done by Harvard. I don't buy this hate crime garbage but I wouldn't be surprised if racism, if it's even possible to quantify, is increasing.
It would seem like racist hate crimes are rising, especially in the Southern USA. People, whites in particular, are becoming racially paranoid of other groups. More discrimination in hiring and housing. People stereotyping each other left and right.
It may because Obama is in Administration even though I, myself, don't like Obama simply because he's no friend to men.
What are the causes of this growing trend? Do you think racism and stereotypes are a genetic trait?
I think your full of crap and just trying to stir the pot ...
Look at the poor kid in FL who went to buy candy for his brother and was shot dead by the "Neighborhood Watch" guy. He said he felt threaten. Really, a kid with Skittles threatens you.
It's sad, but true. Racism is alive and well. But is it at 1960s levels? No.
I just read this story today. No doubt this neighborhood watch guy listened to Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and ate corn flakes.

Yea, doing this is ok because some people make false claims of racism. The cops should just beat the sh*t out of every minority. Totally reasonable.
There are a lot of racist retards in America. Just look at all of the **** Obama has to deal with simply because he's black. (socialist/Muslim/Kenyan, etc.)

Oh please, most opposition to Obama is based on his politics not his race. Besides Obama is half white.
